- Tasting Notes
- Tastes like Centennial Blonde but with just a little more malt and hop character.
This is my take on the Centennial Blonde recipe. I really like Centennial Blonde but I wanted something with just a little bit more flavor, in both the malt, and the hop department. The addition of the 60L does make the beer a tad darker, becoming more golden than blonde.

I've also done this recipe with chico. I only tasted minor differences in flavor between chico, and WLP090 when using them.
I'm not a big fan of IPAs and hoppy beers, but I like to still know the hops are there. I also tend towards lighter beers for my everyday drinkers. This has become my go to recipe for this.
I also increased the mash temperature from the Centennial Blonde recipe as I prefer the more sweeter/mouthfeel character that comes with it.
